How to Choose a Roofing Company in North Vancouver

A roof is a big investment. Here's what to check before you hire anyone to work on it.

Checklist: what to ask every roofer

  • Are you covered by WorkSafeBC? If a worker is hurt on your property and the company isn't covered, you could be on the hook. Ask for proof.
  • Are you insured? Liability insurance protects your home if something goes wrong during the job.
  • Will I get a written, itemized quote? It should spell out materials, scope, timeline and price, so there are no surprises later.
  • What warranty do you offer, in writing? Know what's covered and for how long.
  • Who will actually do the work? An in-house crew means the company is responsible from start to finish. Subcontracted crews can vary.
  • Do you have recent local reviews? Look for reviews from North Shore homeowners on Google and HomeStars.
  • Will you tell me if a repair is enough? A good roofer won't push a full replacement you don't need.

Red flags

  • Pressure to sign the same day, or a big cash deposit up front
  • A quote that's vague or verbal only
  • No proof of WorkSafeBC coverage or insurance
  • No local address or reviews
